Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice
19、 and mark the corresponding letter on the, Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Given the lack of fit between gifted students and their schools, it is not surprising that such students often have little good to say about
20、their school experience. In one study of 400 adults who had achieved distinction in all areas of life, researchers found that three-fifths of these individuals either did badly in school or were unhappy in school. Few MacArthur Prize fellows, winners of the MacArthur Award for creative accomplishmen
21、t, had good things to say about their precollegiate schooling if they had not been placed in advanced programs. Anecdotal (名人轶事) reports support this. Pablo Picasso, Charles Darwin, Mark Twain, Oliver Goldsmith, and William Butler Yeats all disliked school. So did Winston Churchill, who almost faile
22、d out of Harrow, an elite British school. About Oliver Goldsmith, one of his teachers remarked, “Never was so dull a boy.” Often these children realize that they know more than their teachers, and their teachers often feel that these children are arrogant, inattentive, or unmotivated.Some of these g
23、ifted people may have done poorly in school because their gifts were not scholastic. Maybe we can account for Picasso in this way. But most fared poorly in school not because they lacked ability but because they found school unchallenging and consequently lost interest. Yeats described the lack of f
24、it between his mind and school: “Because I had found it difficult to attend to anything less interesting than my own thoughts, I was difficult to teach.” As noted earlier, gifted children of all kinds tend to be strong-willed nonconformists. Nonconformity and stubbornness (and Yeatss level of arroga
25、nce and self-absorption) are likely to lead to Conflicts with teachers.When highly gifted students in any domain talk about what was important to the development of their abilities, they are far more likely to mention their families than their schools or teachers. A writing prodigy (神童) studied by D
26、avid Feldman and Lynn Goldsmith was taught far more about writing by his journalist father than his English teacher. High-IQ children, in Australia studied by Miraca Gross had much more positive feelings about their families than their schools. About half of the mathematicians studied by Benjamin Bl
27、oom had little good to say about school. They all did well in school and took honors classes when available, and some skipped grades.21.The main point the author is making about schools is that _.A) they should enroll as many gifted students as possibleB) they should organize their classes according
28、 to the students abilityC) they are often incapable of catering to the needs of talented studentsD) they should satisfy the needs of students from different family backgrounds（C）22.The author quotes the remarks of one of Oliver Goldsmiths teachers _.A) to show how poor Olivers performance was at sch
29、oolB) to illustrate the strong will of some gifted childrenC) to explain how dull students can also be successfulD) to provide support for his argument（D）23.Pablo Picasso is listed among the many gifted children who _.A) could not cope with their studies at school successfullyB) paid no attention to
30、 their teachers in classC) contradicted their teachers much too oftenD) behaved arrogantly and stubbornly in the presence of their teachers（A）24.Many gifted people attributed their success _.A) less to their systematic education than to their talentB) mainly to parental help and their education at h
31、omeC) both to school instruction and to their parents coachingD) more to their parents encouragement than to school training（B）25.The root cause of many gifted students having bad memories of their school years is that _.A) they were seldom praised by their teachersB) school courses failed to inspir
32、e or motivate themC) their nonconformity brought them a lot of troubleD) teachers were usually far stricter than their parents（B）Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Its hardly news that the immigration system is a mess. Foreign nationals have long been slipping across th
33、e border with fake papers, and visitors who arrive in the U.S. legitimately often overstay their legal welcome without being punished. But since Sept. 11, its become clear that terrorists have been shrewdly factoring the weaknesses of our system into their plans. In addition to their mastery of forg
34、ing passports, at least three of the 19 Sept. 11 hijackers (劫机者) were here on expired visas. Thats been a safe bet until now. The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) (移民归化局) lacks the resources, and apparently the inclination, to keep track of the estimated 2 million foreigners who have int
35、entionally overstayed their welcome.But this laxness (马虎) toward immigration fraud may be about to change. Congress has already taken some modest steps. The U.S.A. Patriot Act, passed in the wake of the Sept. 11 tragedy, requires the FBI, the Justice Department, the State Department and the INS to s
36、hare more data, which will make it easier to stop watch-listed terrorists at the border.But whats really needed, critics say, is even tougher laws and more resources aimed at tightening up border security. Reformers are calling for a rollback of rules that hinder law enforcement. They also want the
37、INS to hire hundreds more border patrol agents and investigators to keep illegal immigrants out and to track them down once theyre here. Reformers also want to see the INS set up a database to monitor whether visa holders actually leave the country when they are required to.All these proposed change
38、s were part of a new border-security bill that passed the House of Representatives but died in the Senate last week. Before Sept. 11, legislation of this kind had been blocked by two powerful lobbies: universities, which rely on tuition from foreign students who could be kept out by the new law, and
39、 business, which relies on foreigners for cheap labor. Since the attacks, theyve backed off. The bill would have passed this time but for congressional maneuverings and is expected to be reintroduced and to pass next year.Also on the agenda for next year: a proposal, backed by some influential law-m
40、akers, to split the INS into two agencies-a good cop that would tend to service functions like processing citizenship papers and a bad cop that would concentrate on border inspections, deportation and other functions. One reason for the division, supporters say, is that the INS has in recent years b
41、ecome too focused on serving tourists and immigrants. After the Sept, 11 tragedy, the INS should pay more attention to serving the millions of ordinary Americans who rely on the nations border security to protect them from terrorist attacks.26.Terrorists have obviously taken advantage of _.A) the ir
42、responsibility of the officials at border checkpointsB) the legal privileges granted to foreignersC) the excessive hospitality of the American peopleD) the low efficiency of the Immigration and Naturalization Service（D）27.We learn from the passage that coordinated efforts will be made by various U.S
43、. government agencies to _.A) limit the number Of immigrants to the U.S.B) prevent the forgery of immigration papersC) ward off terrorist suspects at the borderD) refuse the renewing of expired visas（C）28.It can be inferred from the passage that before Sept. 11, aliens with expired visas _.A) might
44、stay on for as long as hey wishedB) would be closely watched by FBI agentsC) would live in constant fear of deportationD) might have them extended without trouble（A）29.It is believed by many that all these years the INS _.A) has been serving two contradictory functionsB) has ignored the pleas of the
45、 two powerful lobbiesC) has over-emphasized its service functions at the expense of the nations securityD) has been too liberal in granting visas to tourists and immigrants indiscriminately（C）30.Before Sept. 11, the U.S. Congress had been unable to pass stricter immigration laws because _.A) educati
46、on and business circles cared little about national securityB) resources were not available for their enforcementC) it was difficult to coordinate the efforts of the congressmenD) they might have kept away foreign students and cheap labor（D）Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following
47、passage.It was the worst tragedy in maritime (航海的) history, six times more deadly than the Titanic. When the German cruise ship Wilhelm Gustloff was hit by torpedoes (鱼雷) fired from a Russian submarine in the final winter of World War II, more than 10,000 people-mostly women, children and old people
48、 fleeing the final Red Army push into Nazi Germany-were packed aboard. An ice storm had turned the decks into frozen sheets that sent hundreds of families sliding into the sea as the ship tilted and began to go down. Others desperately tried to put lifeboats down. Some who succeeded fought off those in the water who had the strength to try to claw their way aboard. Most people froze immediately. Ill never forget the s
